Bcotie, 489-7387 Open letter Thanks for help given Max and I are filled with gratitude to the Springville Fire Department who responded so quickly to our call for help when our house was on fire. I feel that most of us never give it much thought about how good a job they really do until it happens to us. They were there in a few minutes. I think about three minutes to be exact. After all the smoked furniture and belongings were carried out of the room, they used a huge vaporizer to take all the smoke odor out. This vaporizer was used in all rooms and closets upstairs and down. The next morning the insurance contractor took out all burned walls and ceilings, carpet, and painted and sealed all burned surgace of pipes and cement with a sealer. Then we vaporized again and that is why we didnt have to stay out of our own home. Our contractor said the fire department in Springville was to be commended for the excellent job they did. Both of us are eternally grateful to all of them for a job well done and so quickly. Thanks a million. And at this time we also wish to thank all : our neighbors, friends and relatives for all their help and kindness. We had a home offered to us for the summer, lots of people asking us to come and stay with them. Food that was given to us and help bv many to get the smokey mess cleaned up. We had insurance on the home and furniture.1 I also want to thank the unknown telephone operator the morning of April 6 when I called for help. I dialed 0 and ran out of the house as far as the receiver would let me to give her the message. For all this we cant begin to say thanks enough. It isn't what happens to us that counts in this life, it's how we accept it. We take what comes, be glad it isnt worse, and thank fYy John Craig, Rose Oliver, Don Fletcher, Robert Ralphs, JoDee James, from left. Debate . . . isn't that just arguing with rules??

WEEKEND SPECIALS Springville 220 North Main Springville April 28, 1977 Springville Herald Page Three Open letter Readers decry problems of young student offenders The modest dream of many Americans is to own a home with a picture-window view on a quiet , dead-end street . We who live on Chase Lane have enjoyed such an environment, but for the past three years this ideal has been lost. The scene outside our windows is not a pleasant one. Our street has become the refuge for teen-age boys and girls of the junior high school who come to smoke three times a day. We have tried to be patient in our toleration of this situation which includes trespassing and littering of private property, but with a rapid increase of this group now over a dozen students, some of which are users of marijuana we are concerned for the welfare and attitudes of our own impressionable children, as well as sympathize for the young people who participate in this unhealthy and illegal activitiy. Police, school, and church officials know this situation exists, but no apparent program is in force to solve this growing problem. Ironically, in the shadow of the Medical Center where patients seek 'desperately to restore their health, young people are losing this cherished faculty through unwholesome un-wholesome practices. Would it not be more wholesome for our society CRISP TACOS SOFT FLOUR SUPREME TACOS & to accept these young people and their habits and allow them sanctuary on public property (perhaps the tennis court) in front of the junior high school within plain view of their peers and teachers who could possibly relate to them or offer friendship and positive advice? Naturally, this would call for a closed campus at noon, but at the same time this policy could be a protection to these young people who are subjected to back-alley pushers and high school students who contribute to . their delinquency. Is not this a civic problem of concern to everyone? Are parents aware of this situation? Should we be compelled to take documentary photographs of this unpleasant un-pleasant scene from our windows to prove our concern, or can we expect some positive civic action to curtail this serious problem? We would welcome some feedback from parents, public officials or the teenage smokers themselves who may possibly have a solution to this problem on a DEAD END STREET. Mr. and Mrs.ReUG.
